Dementia is the condition that will have the greatest social and economic impact on our time. In the ACT, there is over 6,000 people living with dementia; our services have never been higher in demand. For this reason, Memory Walk & Jog is not only a vital fundraising drive for Dementia Australia, it is also an opportunity to raise community awareness, promote the importance of healthy lifestyles and encourage the community to come together in a fun and active way to help make a difference for people impacted by dementia.

In 2021, the Canberra Memory Walk & Jog event will be held at Regatta Point on Lake Burley Griffin on Sunday 28th February 2020. We need volunteers on the day from 6:00am to midday in a variety of different roles. I encourage you to volunteer for the event, and invite your friends, family, and colleagues to join you.

No special skills, experience or training is required - just your presence and enthusiasm. Some tasks may include directing and encouraging participants around the course, handing out cups of water, assisting with registrations, selling merchandise, and handing out fundraising packs so there is a job to suit everyone!

We'll provide a virtual briefing in the week of the event, and an in person briefing on the morning of the event so you can learn all about the task assigned to you. You will receive a volunteer certificate after the event season for your tremendous contribution!

Some of last year's volunteers have described their experience as "extremely enjoyable" and said their "spirits were lifted by being in the presence of like-minded people" whilst knowing that they were helping to increase public awareness of dementia.

If this sounds like fun to you, we'd love to have you on board! You can register to volunteer by getting in contact with our Volunteer Coordinator, Courtney Allen on 0419 568 170
